It’s been so long. He demonstrated how a good product person should do. It’s not just about maximise the profits/shareholders wealth but also what feature/characteristics makes people willing to pay for
akashbangad
Yeah his philosophy around what makes a great product great and attention to details spirit is something that every person can learn from

He was also a toxic piece of shit, but who cares, he was rich!

You do realise that the credits you give to Steve actually belong to the thousands of people who worked day in and out for years on said product.

I know, It was a team effort that's a well known fact. I think Steve represents all these people who he worked with and since he was the face and the driving force behind apple I feel it is appropriate to celebrate him.
MiroslavPokorny
Do you think it is healthy to focus praise on a single person like this ?

So was it a team effort or was it Steve. Saying that Steve represents those people sounds like a really cheap excuse to contjnue the praise. It completely disregards the fact that it was a team effort, which you also said you believe

A tribute to an excecrable individual.

This is the whole "should the man be separated from the artist"? I think not but the other perspective holds water as well.
